Who Should I Start? Mark Andrews or Cade Otton

Saturday, November 8, 9:54 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews finally broke through for a top-five finish at the position in Week 9 with two touchdowns against the Miami Dolphins. The Ravens' offense looks like it's already back on track with Lamar Jackson under center, but Andrews didn't particularly see a ton of targets in that Thursday night blowout. In fact, Isaiah Likely saw one more target and gained 38 more yards, but Andrews cashed in on the touchdowns. While the Minnesota Vikings present a favorable matchup, the uncertainty of Andrews' involvement is always the biggest risk. He projects as a borderline TE1 this week, but he's not exactly a surefire start like he has been in years past.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton had his best game of the 2025 season in Week 10, recording nine catches for 82 yards on 12 targets against the New England Patriots. After averaging 2.8 targets per game over the first four weeks of the season, Otton has averaged 7.4 targets per contest over his last five games. The 26-year-old appears to be one of the clear beneficiaries of injuries to Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Chris Godwin (leg). With Evans currently on Injured Reserve and Godwin trending towards missing his fifth straight game, Otton should continue to be a featured player in Tampa Bay's passing game. He profiles as a low-end starting fantasy tight end heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
